Since registered accounts already support cash-secured puts, I'm wondering if it's also possible to trade a bull put spread by buying a lower-strike put.

If that's allowed, how does Questrade calculate the required collateral? Is the cash requirement based on the full short put obligation, or just the spread's maximum loss?

Could someone from the Questrade team clarify how this works?

Thanks in advance!
